Line Information
- Differences among the manuscripts and editions:
- English translations (Windeatt: 1998): Criseyde, quite free from all fear and trouble, as she who had just cause to trust him, made such a fuss of Troilus that it was joy to see, when she knew of his faithfulness and pure intent; and just as the sweet honeysuckle with many a tendril encircles and wreathes around a tree, so they entwined themselves in each other’s arm.
- Japanese translations (Sasamoto: 2012): クリセイデは一切の恐れや苦労からまったく解放され。トロイルスを信頼する正当な理由も得て、彼の誠心と誠意を知ると、見るも楽しいほど大騒ぎして彼をもて成すのだった。さながら一本の木の周りに、幾重にも美しいスイカズラが絡まりよじれるように、二人はお互い両腕で抱き合い、体を絡ませ合った。
- Chinese translations (Fang: 1956): 克丽西德心中所有的芥蒂既都已消除，且知道他是诚挚纯洁的人，自可满心信托他，因而尽量地为他寻欢取乐，此情此景令人魂消；他俩的手臂互绕，合抱着，好比香艳的忍冬攀绕树干一般。
